AUNT SUSAN'S CHRISTMAS FUDGE

Aunt Susan's Christmas Fudge image

My mother always called this Aunt Susan's Christmas Fudge, but we never had an aunt Susan. This fudge is smooth and chocolaty and sooo good. It is a "candy makers fudge". No marshmallows, no chocolate chips. Just the pure ingredients cooked to the right stage and stirred til it starts to set up, then poured in a pan, cooled, cut and eaten. :P~~~

Ingredients

3 cup(s) sugar
1/2 cup(s) white corn syrup
1 cup(s) heavy cream
1 1/2 - squares of chocolate, unsweetened
4 tablespoon(s) butter
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
1 cup(s) chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts are traditional)

Steps:

Butter an 8" square baking pan and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, cook the sugar, cream, syrup and chocolate over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Wash down any sugar crystals that might form on the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in water.
Cook to the softball stage without stirring. (234°F. - Forms a soft ball that doesn't hold its shape when a small amount is dropped into a small glass of cold water)
Remove from heat and put butter into pan without stirring it in. Set aside to cool. When cooled enough to hold your hand on the bottom of the pot, add vanilla.
Beat with a sturdy wooden spoon until thick and heavy, stirring in the nutmeats quickly when it starts to lose its glossy look.
Quickly pour into prepared 8 inch pans, and let cool completely. Cut into 1" squares (makes 1 -8 inch pan about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.)
You can use a large heavy pot and triple this recipe if desired. (This is what we always did, as it is so good you will want a lot) But try a small batch to start. :)

AUNT TEEN'S CREAMY CHOCOLATE FUDGE

Aunt Teen's Creamy Chocolate Fudge image

This was my aunt's recipe for fudge, passed down through the family. It's better than any fudge I've ever had at the Jersey shore, and easy enough to whip up in 15 minutes or so.

Tips:

Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. This will help to prevent the fudge from burning.
Stir the mixture constantly. This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing and the fudge from becoming grainy.
Do not overcook the fudge. The fudge is done when it reaches the soft ball stage, which is 234-238°F (112-114°C) on a candy thermometer.
Let the fudge cool slightly before beating it. This will help to prevent the fudge from becoming too stiff.
Beat the fudge until it is thick and creamy. This will take about 5 minutes.
Pour the fudge into a prepared pan. The fudge should be about 1/2 inch thick.
Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it. This will take about 2 hours.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature. The fudge will keep for up to 2 weeks.
